Adrian Rogers: You Can Be Sure (2063)

Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Romans 8:28-31
Salvation, from start to finish, is of the Lord. It is only by the grace of God that we can be sure of our salvation.
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
There are five foundational facts on which our faith rests.
The first fact is God’s foreknowledge of our salvation. God knew we were going to be saved before we did. When God foreknows something, it is not an educational guess; He sees the beginning, middle, and end of everything, all at once.
Second, we can be sure of our predestination to be like Jesus. “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” (Romans 8:29).
Adrian Rogers says, “God doesn’t predestine some people to go to Hell, and God doesn’t predestine some people to go to Heaven. God predestines every child of God, everyone who is born again, to be like Jesus.” God wants everyone to be saved, but in order for love to be love, it cannot be forced. So God gave us free will; whether we want to be saved or not is up to us.
Third, we are sure that God foreknew we would be saved: “Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called…” (Romans 8:30). Whenever the Gospel is preached, God is calling people to salvation. Through His Word and His Spirit, God can make the spiritually blind see things they’ve never seen before.
Fourth and fifth, we can be sure of our settled justification, and finally, our eternal glorification.
“...whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified” (Romans 8:30).
The basis of our justification is the blood of Jesus Christ; it becomes effective when we trust in Him. As a result, God no longer deals with us as sinners, but as servants. As servants, God already sees us in Heaven, in His heart and mind, settled and glorified. And what has been settled in Heaven cannot be annulled or undone in time.
Apply it to your life
Are you sure of your salvation?
Adrian Rogers says, “If you’ll put your faith where God has put your sins, on the Lord Jesus Christ, you can be absolutely sure.”

[@JoanKentBible]

I loved listening to Adrian in the early 2000's. He's as fresh now as then.

[@cryptopotomus3948]

I’ve been born again since the 80s and the scriptures still feed me and blow my mind over and over! The treasures of the Lord are Limitless!

[@joseywales8229]

I love listening to Adrian Rogers preach he tells the truth nothing but the truth looking forward to meeting him in heaven

[@oursavior9339]

Me too

[@danceswithwolves3419]

God be the Glory! This message lifted a boulder of my shoulder! I read a article by a calvinist preacher and it had me in a tail spin and doubting The love and compassion of God. This lesson has taught me that I need to be in the bible more and biblically grounded so Im not easily swayed by flawed doctrine.

[@oursavior9339]

Yeah I listened to some preacher talk about you can lose your salvation. I was going crazy for 45 mins. I was saying to myself “now how in the world can I keep myself? How?? It is Christ who holds me in the palm in his hands. And as well as the father. Who can pluck me out?? If you can’t pluck me out of the fathers hand, then how so can you with the son? Also. What happens if I lose my temper one day and hurt someone really bad who ends up wounded, but soon after I do this act I walk into the street blinded my rage and get hit by a car and didn’t repent? The bible says that are sins are forgiven, past, present and future. If I messed up one time, then go to hell because of that fall I took into the flesh, then that means God is a liar. And God CANNOT LIE! This whole you can lose your salvation doctrine is false/heresy! It needs to be addressed! Because people can go insane thinking that oh if I messed up, welp Jesus takes away the free gift and says oh well, NO MY FRIEND I SAY NO UNTO YOU. For we have been saved by grace through FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS. I’ll never forget what Adrian Rodger’s said on the final judgment. When people will come before the Lord and say Ah well Lord I didn’t like that preacher, and God will say “I didnt say believe in the preacher I said to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ” so I will stay in the word, Jesus says the Spirit of God will stay with me! JESUS SAID AND HE DOES. NOT LIE HALLELUJAH!

[@anovino1992]

Calvin, believe in election, is the same as been elected. When God calls you, and you answer that call. You're now, one of his elect, you have free will to receive that gift 🎁 or deny it. So, now we can say, without the shadow of a doubt, that you're one of God's elect.

I love and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!❤

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;” 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

[@stephengilbreath840]

It's interesting hearing Romans 8:29-30 from a non-Calvinist perspective

[@harrymurray9702]

And the Scripture states Jesus died for those whom would believe. There is no blanket salvation, that because Jesus died all are saved. You must repent, and Believe, to be saved.

[@CornelGB]

You have to get right with God first if you are an abomination to him,repent and change now in his Holy name his father gave him,Yeshua

[@margaretclarke3643]

Romans 10:9-10 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is LORD, and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED. For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) AND SO IS JUSTIFIED (declared righteous, acceptable to God), AND WITH THE MOUTH HE CONFESSES (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) AND CONFIRMS (his) SALVATION.

[@harrymurray9702]

You may have a will, however the Bible is filled with stories, of God forcing them to do his bidding. Jonah was swallowed by a very large Fish because he ran from God, Moses argued with God and God had to set him straight. The point is this, salvation is a supernatural work of God, and you cannot escape God's will, period. Jesus said John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

[@Kitty-zd7qp]

Then why everyone is not saved? Is it because of their free-will? Man is saved by God's grace or man's free will? What about God hardening the heart of Pharoah? He has hardened many kings during Isarel's wandering that they come and fight with Israel so that they would be destroyed. oyed.
